~~~ Our Son and Brother~~~
Andrew David
```Chinese Name```
Chang Ruigang
Chang is his surname that all the boys received when they entered the orphnage in 2006.
Ruigang means "our wish for him to be a brave, wise and strong person."
They say he is a clever and sensitive child and that he has a pair of fiery eyes. ;)
***Waiting for us in***
Beijing, China
He is 13 months younger than Sophia and 7 months older than Daniel. So basically I have twin terrors or a triplet tribe. ;)
I love you with all my heart my sweet, sweet boy. Hold on a little while longer.
I'm coming to bring you home.

Oh Steffie,
He's absolutely handsome. I love his name. Praise God for this blessing. A triplet tribe will be fun!! Now that my boys are about the same size people ask us all the time if they are triplets (it's just easier to say yes than to explain they are 8,9,10- hehe)
I am guessing since we see his face you have your LOA. What is the rest of your time frame? Were we through the review room?
Blessings my friend,
Andrew is absoulutely stunning. Fiery eyes, I can see that from his photo for sure. Oh how I can't wait to meet him here on your blog through and through your lens.
I am so excited for all of you....how wonderful.
OK beautiful girl come on over to The Nuthouse and pick up your award : )
Steffie,
OMG, what a cutie. Congratulation.Luv the new name and look to your blog.

absolutely STUNNING- your son is- I AM SO happy for you and your whole family!! I have been terrible about
reading blogs lately and need to go back for some "back" story!! Congratulations to you and your whole family!!
If you can copy and paste this from me into your comments I'd love that!!
Congrats again!

Congratulations Steffie & Family!!!
He is a handsome little boy!!!
I am so happy for you!
Congratulations to you and your famly! He is so cute.
I noticed your LID is 4/2007, and you already got a referral. That's great. Our login date is 4/15/2007 and might be waiting for another year! Just wondering.
What a beautiful boy !
Oh, and I forgot to say that I am a bad bloggy pal because I didn't realize there were 3 that left the nest already...I just thought there was 1 other gorgeous adult child...I remember the handsome young man when you all went boating in the Summer and Emmie was standing with her brother. I didn't realize that there were 2 more! They are all beautiful and I love your new blog design!
He is so cute. I'm so excited for you. It makes me think of the 8 months between Hannah and Ethan.
To the Beckering family,
We are all very happy for you and wish you the best of luck in your journey to get Andrew. We hope all moves quickly and the transition into your family goes smoothly. We will keep your family uplifted in prayer.
Gabrielle would love to see Sophia sometime soon. I broke my nose about ten days ago, I had surgery to put it back in place three days ago.so I'm not going public just yet.
Oh my Goodness!!!! What a precious little baby boy angel!!! Oh Steffie! I know you must be over the moon! He is such a little doll and is a perfect fit into the beautiful Beckering Tribe!!!!! Thank you for letting me know about his introduction! I wouldn't have missed this blessed event for the world!!! Keep me posted on the progress...cause I am tagging along once again to China with your family....just like I did when you went to get Sophia!!! Such sweet blessings are all yours my friend!!!
Love hugs and tears too!!!
Denise
What a precious family! We returned July 08 with our 4 yr old son. We used Chinese for the adoptive parent. Google exactly that and it will come up. We put ours on our ipod and wrote down a few key phrases to help us.
I am looking forward to following your journey.
I feel like I have missed so much now that I see you have your referral picture... It was just the other day you guys had months and months of waiting to go through and now here he is... he's wonderful... and he's very lucky to have your family to love him..

Oh my, CONGRATULATIONS on your little boy...he is so handsome!! Best wishes as you prepare to travel and I will keep little Daniel's anxieties in my prayers. :)
